Delaying Disk Space Checking

Delaying Disk Space Checking

The delayspacecheck preference of the set command allows you to postpone disk space checking until after you enter the go command. Delaying space checking reduces the amount of time needed for the interactive portion of an installation session. However, when you delaying space checking, disk space information is not displayed in the output of list and step commands--subsystem sizes are listed as zero.

To postpone disk space checking until you enter the go command, enter this command before entering the first list or step command:

Admin> set delayspacecheck on

Inst saves the value of delayspacecheck in the installation history database, so it is not necessary to reset this preference if you wish to delay space checking in subsequent installations.

To return to the default space checking behavior, enter this command:

Admin> set delayspacecheck off
